Legal Question in Family Law in Iowa

Contempt-illegal resistance to order or process

This is what my ex is being served for...only they served him after the court date. I spoke with the attorney from CSR and he said he messed up and now has to find some way for a judge to let him serve my ex by mail now (which he said he doubts will happen). And try to get a new court date set and then try to serve him again. He said my file is sitting on his desk right now because he is dredding it and knows he messed. I don't feel I should have to wait until he feels comfortable trying to talk a judge into something he knows probably isn't going to happen. Any ideas on how to get him moving again and get my ex served for contempt? I have been told to write a letter to the people in charge of the CSR units in Nebraska, Iowa, Missouri and Kansas and let them know that I am not satisfied with the way they are handling my case. Especially they know exactly where he is and still can't get anything done.

I guess there's a legal question here but you haven't really told me what it's all about. If the service was insufficient the course is clear. You serve the person again and do the hearing again. If it makes you look like you've dropped the ball, so be it.
